Referring to the drawings; A, represents the frame bars of the press,retained in position by the cross frames O, O, said bars A, extendforward a proper distance, to receive the bolster plates e to receivethe king bolt a, on which is pivoted the operating lever D. The kingbolt ais extended above the frame bars A, a proper distance to receivethe brace D', which'is rigidly framed in the leverD by the stay bar D2.
